The meat used is fatty and greasy because it is cheaper to prepare and faster to cook, because it is cheaper they give large servings with a large amount of quility. How they cook is a big deal, if you take a peace of chicken a fry it, it just makes it a lot less healthy, depending on what you fry it in. Fast food places are required to post nutirantion lables, but alot of places don't have it in acessiable places, so people eat more then they should, or would in a normal house hold home cooked suitiation.

No cartoony mascots, no adversising in magasines and so forth. I think it will really help keep kids from whinning to their poor stressed out moms for french fries and slushies if this happens.

The thing about the guy was that he was perfectly healthy and had a decent celestoral and was pretty skinny. Oddly though, he said he never ate fries and rarely had soda with his bigmacs, maybe too much blame is going on the main corses and not enough on the sugary and fatty extras.

He seems to have opened up a lot of people's eyes. It seems that a lot more people realize the serious health effects that come with constant fast food dining.

They could have definitely made healthier choices. But where are their parents in all of this? Do they not realize that their children's lives may be at stake here?

They practically define America, so it would be really difficult to urge people to completely wean off of fast food. The only other option is to serve a salad instead of french fries.
